Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years
Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole.
Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Many other xooglers raised these leadership issues earlier. Meanwhile, tier2/3 kids are burning midnight oil to land up in Google to start YT channel
Takes a lot of guts to put it out there so openly. Did she end up losing her job?
She wouldn’t have. If there’s one thing Google is known for, it’s being accommodative to its employees inspite of such talk.
Not really. They fired their top researcher when she raised concerns about bias in their AI models. Go read it it up, happened 1-2 years back
Haven't we known this for the last 5 years? Are googlers crying now because their free lunch is over? That a decade of chest thumping the word "AI" has led them to lose to Openai and a bunch of startups? I didn't see no one crying back when all the moonshots were failing left and right a few years back
Not sure about India but in USA, people have had raised their concerns time to time. Many have even asked Pichai to resign even before layoffs. There was that AI model bias fiasco at DeepMind. The researcher got fired though for raising her concerns
This is universal, not limited to Google. Every business or service, government or private - big or small undergoes revolutionary change in 30 years. reliance made big money in textile industry. Tata's first business was steel. Tata motors (telco at that time) was started to build truxk s to move their raw material and finished products.
Big companies dont die they morph. Google might have not made a revolutionary product in the recent times. But they just need 1. They have the money to wait for it.
Insightful, yes they have big pockets. Microsoft was in same rut during Balmer era. Pichai is Balmer of Google.
30 years is a long time. Nothing will remain the same. Except maybe the consulting firms, which thrive on change and chaos.
Wait I think we are estimating too far. Pichai won't stay for next 30 years, also Google embraces tech upgrade faster than MSFT.
Too soon to write them off
All beacuse of Covid Charity Hiring.
